“This weight is lifted from him and he is ready to move on and date again—if the right woman comes along,” a source revealed.

“He is taking a minute because this has taken a toll on him. He is staying close to his family and his sobriety circle. He’s not been left fragile so much as exhausted by it all.”

Meanwhile, reports suggest that Jennifer Lopez is also prepared to enter the dating scene again. “All this praise for her work in Unstoppable has put the wind back in her sails,” a source told In Touch.

“Settling her divorce has helped as well,” the insider added. “She’s not mired in this back and forth with Ben and can truly look towards starting a new chapter.”
